Books & Candy in Our Room

Help me give my students some relaxing books and some, even more, relaxing snacks!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stefanelli's classroom raised $365

My Students

My students enter a reading haven every day. During the first twenty minutes of class, my students enjoy time to read. During this time, they read what interests them, they relax, they forget what's going on at home, and they forget (dare I say) their other classes and responsibilities.

My students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, devour books!

They are discouraged from looking at a study guide; they are discouraged from having a pen in their hand. Reading needs to be enjoyable. My students enjoy it because it's for them - and no one else.

My students love this time. Many read a book a week! They take pride in their reading and their ability to encourage others in the class to read what they read.

My Project

As always, I am looking to get new books on my shelves! The books on this list have been chosen based on the popular books currently in my classroom library!

Aren't books more fun with a little candy on the side?

My students very much enjoy the positive reinforcement of receiving candy (often thrown at them to catch) when they participate in class! Did you know candy isn't cheap? Any help you can give would go towards filling up my goodie box with candy and snacks for my students!

As always, I truly appreciate all help!
